Source-derived summary

1990–1993 is the discography compilation consisting of the entire recorded output of American powerviolence band Crossed Out, which was released in 1999 through Slap-a-Ham Records on compact disc and vinyl formats. The compilation includes previously released EP material as well as rare demos and live recordings. A limited edition of white-colored LP copies were released through direct mail order.

Background

Crossed Out was formed in late 1990 by guitarist Scot Golia, drummer Tad Miller, bassist Rich Hart, and vocalist Dallas Van Kempen. The group issued a demo tape, a self-titled 7-inch, a split 7-inch with Man Is the Bastard, and a split 5-inch with Dropdead. The group also contributed two tracks to the Slap-a-Ham compilation 7-inch Son of Blleeaauurrggh, which also featured other prominent powerviolence and grindcore acts. The group would eventually break-up in 1993 after playing only 16 live shows total in the southern California area. The last five shows featured Eric Wood (from Man Is the Bastard) on the bass, for their original bassist Hart left the group by that point. One of these last few shows, which was recorded on August 21, 1993, at the Ché Café, is featured as the last four tracks on the 1990–1993 compilation.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “1990–1993” as album by Crossed Out. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA useful identification and reception guide that helps separate the work itself from editions, performances, ownership and later interpretation. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1990, 1993, 1999—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1999. The account is most persuasive where album and Crossed can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as album by Crossed Out. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 16, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q27818003. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990, 1993 and 1999.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
